Arimidex side effects
Hi
Just started Arimidex yesterday (under protest but agreed with doctor to at least try it).
Today I have a headache on one side of my head and nausea.
Early side effect?
Cheers

Yes, I did notice the thinning hair, and I feel like I just don't function as well anymore as far as memory goes.
Little vent: My Oncologist last week told me that I should only have pain in hands and feet ??? Feel like they don't totally get it. Onco suggested a two week break, already a bit over the week, the bone pain has stopped, sore knee that apparently has nothing to do with Femara has not had a bit of pain, the hot flushes have diminished.
For me I had my ovaries (instant menopause) removed then onto Arimidex four weeks later, I think that my body has not tolerated the sudden removal of oestrogen. From speaking to other ladies, it seems that if you have already gone through menopause you seem to tolerate certain medications over others.
I take lots of supplements to ease side effects, and have decided with this break to up the walking and excercise.
Speak up to your Oncologist, I ask lots of questions, which they seem to not like, but this is my body and my life and I have decided to take charge.
